as i remember undo the retainers on top then if i were u put masking tape around the edges of the lights to protect paintwork then they have to be literally pushed towards the outside of the car and towards the rear at the same time...bad design and very awkward if they havnt been out for a while

no just the top they are a plastic type grommet retaining them and if u havnt had them out before it is solid but gets better the more times u have them out but be carefull with paintwork as it can chip the edge coming out sideways
